Shen Xianjun carried Xiaobao back to Qin Nian's side, where Qin Nian pinched him.
"Didn't I tell you not to get involved? I saw everything just now."
"Honey, I didn't do anything. I just reminded him that he hadn't visited his old boss in a long time. How could you accuse me like that? Xiao Bao, tell your aunt, did I ask that uncle to visit the old boss?"
Seeing Shen Xianjun's grievances, Xiao Bao nodded earnestly.
"Auntie, don't be angry. Here, have some of Xiaobao's candied hawthorns."
Xiao Bao thought for a moment and handed his candied hawthorn to Qin Nian.
"Little Bao is so good. Auntie doesn't eat, but you eat."
Before Shen Xianjun could even feel happy, he felt betrayed. Why hadn't he thought of buying one for his wife when he was buying the other one? Even the kids knew to use borrowed flowers to give to Buddha.
"Shall I go buy it for you?"
Shen Xianjun spoke.
"Sure, buy a few more skewers. Yao Yao and Miao Miao should be at home too."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xianjun patted his pocket and went to the man selling candied hawthorns.
"I'll take all of your candied hawthorns, but give me a discount."
Since we're going to buy it anyway, there might be other children involved later, so it's not really a good idea to give it to anyone else or not.
"You bought them all? I still have more than thirty skewers left on this plate."
Shen Xianjun took a look.
"I'll give you eight dollars in total, you can give me the whole thing, otherwise I can't take it."
Shen Xianjun reached into his pocket.
"Oh, no problem, here you go, please take it."
Wow! Uncle is amazing!
Xiao Bao exclaimed in astonishment when he saw the candied hawthorns on Shen Xianjun's shoulder.
Shen Xianjun took the largest string of vegetables from the basket and presented it to Qin Nian.
"Eat up, it's all ours."
Qin Nian took it. Actually, she wasn't really craving candied hawthorns, but she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"I can't finish them, can you eat two for me?"
Qin Nian took a bite, and seeing that Shen Xianjun was carrying a candied hawthorn in one hand and holding Xiaobao in the other, without eating any himself, she handed the candied hawthorn in her hand to Shen Xianjun.
Shen Xianjun glanced at the bright red candied hawthorns in front of him, his body reacting faster than his brain, and he opened his mouth and bit into two hawthorn balls.
It's sweet, then sour, and a little sticky.
Qin Nian looked at Shen Xianjun's puffed-out cheeks. This guy was really funny. He said he would eat two, and he actually ate two. These hawthorns were quite big; he wasn't afraid of choking.
Xiao Bao stared at Shen Xianjun's mouth with a look of astonishment.
"Uncle's mouth is so big! He could eat two candied hawthorns in one go!"
The child's words made Shen Xianjun choke as he swallowed. Qin Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud. After meeting Shen Xianjun's gaze, she silently turned her head to the side, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
"Laugh if you want to, it's not good to hold it in."
Shen Xianjun was helpless; he truly didn't have a third hand, otherwise he would have definitely given Xiaobao's head a good beating.
"I didn't mean it, it's just children's innocent talk."
Qin Nian restrained herself until she saw Fan Juan walking over.
"I thought you wouldn't be that fast."
"If I did everything myself, it definitely wouldn't be that quick. But the boss assigned me an assistant, and the registration was handled by the assistant. The coupons were also distributed when we entered the venue. There are people at every step, so there won't be any mistakes. We made a profit this time. We'll talk about it later."
Fan Juan lowered her voice, but couldn't hide the joy on her face.
"Okay, let's have a candied hawthorn skewer."
Qin Nian took out a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to Fan Juan. Only then did Fan Juan notice that Shen Xianjun was carrying a whole string of candied hawthorns on his back.
"This long string of candied hawthorns will definitely be the focus of the children's attention in a while."
Fan Juan accepted it without hesitation.
Without the candied hawthorns, I was planning to go straight to the noodle shop, but now that I'm carrying a big bunch of candied hawthorns, I naturally have to go home to my family compound first.
